COLE Submitted by: Noel Anderson HAROLD GF`TY Recommended City Council Action: That the City Council set a date of public hearing "rta on the site plan amendment request and publish an official notice pertinent to the QUEti T Ii`: requested site plan amendment. HAR r Summary Statement: The applicant requests that the City amend the existing "S-1" site VRON plan for 1422 Flammang Drive(Hy-Vee Grocery Store),to allow for a 7,008 square foot `='.'ELF..I, expansion to the store, to allow for a Hy-Vee Wine & Spirits, as well as some changes to the front appearance of the building and sidewalk orientation. The existing Hy-Vee o J Grocery Store was built in 1993. The green space area was left for potential expansion GREEN *{OOD planning,which is now being requested. Expenditure Required: N/A STEVE S C HMIT T Source of Funds: N/A Policy Issue: Site Plan Amendment in "S-1" Shopping District Alternativ e:N/A Background Information: The amendment of the plan is due to the proposed 7.008 sq. ft. of new construction along the west side of the building. This is classified as a major amendment and must, therefore, go back to the Planning, Programming &Zoning Commission and City Council for approval. The submitted site plan shows a 7,008 square foot addition/expansion onto the existing 62,330 square foot building, for a new total building size of 69,338 square foot Hy-Vee Grocery Store and Wine & Spirits building. The new expansion area will be accessible r WIEBSITE:WE RE WORKING FOR VOTE `ab nlilcoo) qaa;Cc F _ ,unityr.rt mz,.ve A ii r E j from the grocery store, as well from the front(north) side of the building, or from the side (west) of the building where parking drive-up and parking areas are being added to accommodate the traffic flow and additional parking requirements. The building changes and expansion area would be comprised of brick, precast banding, split face block portions, aluminum entrance framing with thermal glazing. The signage would be located directly over the top of the main Grocery Store entrance (whereas now it is centered in middle of building) and signage would be added on the new addition to signify the Wine& Spirits portion of the building. There would be a change in signage for "videos, dry cleaning, and pharmacy" as well, noting the new location of a drive up Pharmacy canopy with pneumatic tubes. The sidewalk orientation of the front would accommodate the Pharmacy drive-up as a dip towards the building,minimally impacting any existing parking. The overall site parking would retain the 422 parking stalls, at a 6.1 stalls to 1,000 square foot ratio. The Zoning Ordinance only requires 1 stall per 300 square foot(or an easy comparison of roughly 3.33 stalls per 1,000 sq. ft.), so the site plan would appear to provide an abundance of parking. The setbacks are easily met for the addition, with 122.64 feet still available to the western property line. Some shrubs would be lost with the demolition of the former drive-up facility area, which are to be replaced with new shrubs with the sidewalk realignment. No other landscaping is shown near the expansion area, though there are already a good number of mature trees along Sarah Drive to the west, allowing for the remaining green space to be viewed again for future expansion. No other changes are shown for access to the overall site. At the June 4, 2013 Planning and Zoning Commission the proposed amendment was approved. �'.

The entrance along La Porte Road will be split with Lot 1, in order to allow access to that lot.An access easement would also allow access to Lot 1 through the parking lot near the access onto Crossroads Boulevard, as Lot 1 cannot get their own access from Crossroads Boulevard.

Ward I CAROLYN Recommended City Council Action: Approval of a resolution establishing a COLE Complete Streets Policy for the City of Waterloo and the Complete Streets Advisory Ward 2 Committee. yHARD Summary Statement: Planning, Engineering and Traffic staff have been working GETWard 3 closely with the Waterloo Blue Zones Community Policy Committee on Walkability and Bikeability, who has been developing a Complete Streets Policy for the City of QUENTIN Waterloo. The draft policy was reviewed at a Council work session on 6/3/13 and HART g proposed is now bein for adoption. Adoption of the resolution will establish a Ward 4 pi policy regarding future street projects (new and reconstruction as well as other RON transportation improvement projects), requiring that complete streets elements be WELPER wards considered and incorporated into the project. There are provisions in the policy for granting exceptions to implementing complete streets elements, but the intention of BOB the policy is to ensure that streets are designed, constructed and maintained to be GREENWOOD safe and accessible for all transportation users, whether they are pedestrians, At-Large bicyclists, transit riders,vehicular motorists or trucks. Further, Complete Streets are STEVE designed to improve mobility and connectivity, improve health, increase safety, SCHMITT enhance neighborhoods, businesses, and institutions, and advance the quality of life At-Large for all Waterloo citizens and visitors. Expenditure Required: No expenditure is required for the adoption of the policy, however additional discussion is needed regarding the implementation of complete streets elements,which will have financial implications. In particular, local projects that do not involve federal, state or other funding sources such as grants will need to have additional discussion as to how complete streets elements would be funded. Source of Funds: n/a for adoption of the policy, however additional discussion is needed regarding the source of funding to implement complete streets elements. Policy Issue: Complete Streets CITY WEBSITE: www.ci.waterloo.ia.us WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! 111 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Background Information: The City of Waterloo has been designated as a Blue Zones Community and is working towards Blue Zones Certification. One of the criteria to becoming Blue Zones Certified is that the City must adopt a Complete Streets Policy that incorporates all ten elements of a successful complete streets policy as identified by the National Complete Streets Coalition. The Waterloo Blue Zones Community Policy Committee on Walkability and Bikeability was tasked with assisting the City in developing and adopting such a policy. The Committee, which is made up of a broad cross section of our community including City staff, representatives from INRCOG,various non-profit organizations such as the YMCA and HVAAA, and other interested citizens, has been working on a policy that will fit best for the City of Waterloo. Alternative: The alternative would be to not adopt the Complete Streets Policy, however adoption of the policy is a requirement for the City of Waterloo to reach Blue Zones Certification, so not adopting the policy will prevent the City from reaching certification.
